KTP Opens Door to Continued Learning Support for Children at Fatima Home Melaka

On 26 July 2026, the Faculty of Business (FOB) organised a Knowledge Transfer Programme (KTP) at Fatima Home Melaka, combining educational activities with community engagement while paving the way for continued learning support for the children.

Led by Project Leader Chery Chan and accompanied by Mr. Vincent Chan, the programme featured storytelling sessions, interactive learning activities and games designed to encourage creativity, communication and confidence among the children. The team was warmly received by Mr. Jeremy, caretaker of Fatima Home Melaka.

Also participating in the programme were Ms. Colleen Webber, former Principal of Tadika Sacred Heart Convent, who shared her extensive experience in early childhood education, and Jayden Chan, the inspiration behind Jayden’s Story Board Game, an educational tool developed to nurture creativity, imagination and storytelling skills among young learners.

The programme concluded with a lunch gathering made possible through the generous support of sponsors, providing an opportunity for the children and volunteers to interact in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

More importantly, the visit marked the beginning of a longer-term initiative. During discussions with the home management, the team learned that three Orang Asli from rural communities currently residing at Fatima Home Melaka require additional academic support. In response, the volunteers have committed to providing tutoring and educational guidance to help strengthen the children’s learning and development.

While the day’s activities focused on knowledge sharing through fun and engaging learning experiences, the programme has also laid the foundation for a sustained partnership with Fatima Home Melaka. By extending support beyond the initial visit, the initiative demonstrates how knowledge transfer can translate into meaningful action that benefits the community, particularly in creating greater access to educational opportunities for children who need them most.

Well done!
